UAW filed charges with the NLBR

Volkswagen, Hyundai, and Honda Motor at their facilities in Chattanooga, Montgomery, and Indiana, respectively have participated in “union-busting as workers organise to join the UAW”, as per charges it filed with the National Labour Relations Board on Monday.

The union alleges that Volkswagen in particular at the said facility even “harassed and threatened workers for talking about the union”.

UAW has filed charges with the NLBR about two weeks after announcing plans of launching campaign to organise thirteen automakers in the United States after signing record deals with General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis last month.

Volkswagen says it will investigate

The United Auto Workers also alleged that workers are being monitored at the aforementioned facility of Honda while Hyundai prohibits “pro-union materials in non-work areas during non-work times”.

These car companies are “breaking the law” to not let the workers “fight for their fair share”, as per Shawn Fain – the President of UAW. But auto workers at the three factories “won’t be intimidated out of their right to speak up”, he added.

Responding to the allegations, Volkswagen told CNBC on Monday that it takes such “claims very seriously and will investigate accordingly”.

Representatives for Hyundai and Honda are yet to comment on the development.
